The "Green Rush" is coming to a screeching to a halt in some rural cities and counties in Oregon outside the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon. Not everyone is a happy camper with legal marijuana and they are being vocal about it. It'll be a mess.

Legalization is now impacting where medical marijuana is legally sold too, yet another mess.

Washington State legislators are trying to put a stop to those rebel city and county bans. I'm guessing they want the tax dollars and less of an enforcement hassle. :wink:

I don't see where a municipality banning sale is an issue. I mean, you have dry counties in states which approve of liquor sales, and dry towns, too.

The problem is, it sounds like those want-to-go-dry counties and cities want to get rid of medical marijuana shops as well. That might impact a few rural people that need it.
